The high-speed Metro corridor between Mumbai International Airport and Navi Mumbai International Airport will now be operational round-the-clock. It is also India’s first proposed high-speed Metro corridor that will be working throughout the day and night, making it the first Metro corridor to be available on all 365 days round-the-clock.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which is behind this ambitious project, stated that the availability of the high-speed Metro corridor 24x7 will make things easier for flyers landing late at night. This facility will also ease their travel between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai in case they need to board connecting flights.

A senior MMRDA official further said, “The schedule for the Metro high-speed corridor connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airport will be having Metro trains running even late in the night, considering it is a dedicated line for the airport. This particular Metro corridor also passes through many residential locations in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, which will also help flyers to reach their homes late in the night.”

At present, the dedicated metro line of Delhi Airport Metro runs for almost 20 hours, i.e., providing services between 4.45 am to 11.30 pm.

“ln case of Mumbai Airport Metro, we will have services operational even in the late night hours, however, the frequency will not be not equal to that of during the daytime,” stated the senior MMRDA official. The said Metro corridor will also connect with Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 corridor and the Airport to Adhisar east Metro corridor.
